One of my favorite exhibit in Quilt en Sud was the Kutch embroideries show. Through contacts from Francine Flattard with an association called Qasab, Quilt en Sud was able to invite 2 embroiderers from Gujarat, as well as bring beautiful products made by the women in Kutch. Private collectors lent some antic embroideries as well, and it was a real treat!Today, I'll show you some Jat embroidery, a very time consuming kind of embroidery.Excerpts from the exhibition text:"Jats are Sunnite Muslims and are originally from Belouchistan. Men are shepherds and women stay at the camp. The group never marries into another ethnic group. Their embroideries are so dense that they cover the cloth entirely."
